and far, far away there is eternity
still, I am horribly limited, but
one day, my friend, I will rise
I will be on the other side of the universe
To this day,
your name
still hurts my tongue
but I still say it anyway.
Sometimes I like to
hear my soul
gently tear itself
apart.

This sadness
feels so deeply rooted within me
that I wonder
would I even feel like myself without it?
The scrimshaw of the air, the long whales-tooth of sunlight
Etched with seafarer’s care and his great wantonness for the sea,
A kiss as light as the bottlenose dolphin cresting from the water,
Then night undressed and falling down like sliding beads of watery stars
From the wet coriaceous porpoise skin and a tail of silver fire.
Coriaceous here means leather-like and rubbery
Let every poet plant a tree this year
to save the earth.

Name the tree after your favourite poem.

Poetry doesn't make any difference, but poet's can.

I came to you
Over and over

For the pain
That became my air

But for the upcoming year
I promise myself

Never again
